Vampire Weekend have made a statement addressing the lawsuit against the band filed by model Kirsten Kennis, who appears on the cover of their album “Contra”. Kennis is suing the band for $2 million claiming they used her photo without her permission.

The singer for Vampire Weekend, Ezra Koenig, has publicly said that the lawsuit is “frustrating” and that the band hasn’t dealt with anything like this before. Ezra said

I think I can speak for all of us and say this is the first time any of us have ever been sued, so we’re still learning how it works. There’s so many things we could say about it but given we have no experience of it we’re just keeping conversations to a journal for now, which is a little frustrating. There’s nothing we can say about it. We’re not trying to be mysterious. I imagine in the next few months there’ll be plenty to talk about. Given it’s our first time we just want to do it properly.

They seem just as evasive as they did when Sarah asked them about the cover on MOD! Check out the video here.
